Preparing the Ingredients
Fry the peanuts until crispy. Wash the goji berries and briefly blanch them in boiling water. Wash the maidong, simmer it in boiling water until tender, then chop it into fine bits. Dice the lean pork. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and beat well. Pour the beaten egg into another bowl (the inside of which has been brushed with oil), steam over simmering water until set, let cool, then cut the egg into small dice.
Stir-frying and Thickening
Place a wok over high heat, add the peanut oil, and stir-fry the diced pork until cooked through. Add the diced egg, goji berries, and minced maidong, toss to combine, season with a pinch of salt, and thicken with the cornstarch slurry.
Seasoning and Plating
Finish with MSG to taste, scatter the crispy peanuts over the top, and serve.
